Fate FOretOld.

The following curious anecdote rela-
tive to the emperor of Germany has
recently been made public. In the
year 1854 niece OF Count Szecheny,
the Austrian ambassador at Berlin
had come to visit her uncle and had
been presented at court. This young
lady, then only IT years old. was very
beautifl u and graceful and was greatly
admired. What added to the interest
that she inspired was the reputation
that had preceded her; she was said
to be extraordinarily sensitive, to see
visions and to predict the future.
This report reached the ears of the
emperor. The young countess having
been presented to him at one OF the
court festivities he said, smiling:
"Well, countess, how long 81 future for
my old days is still awaiting me?'
The young girl took the emperor's
hand, contemplated Tor u moment the
lines OF the palm, and said composed.
ly, al see a life OF SO years" Scarce
ly were the words pronounced than the
emperor started as with alarm. He
quickly drew away his hand and his
features assumed an expression of pain.
full surprise. He quickly recovered
from his slight emotion, the smile re.
turned to his lip, and he resumed his
conversation with the young lady and
Joked with her about her prophecy,
though some of the persons present
imagined that his smile was forced and
that the prediction had produced, for
some reason or other, disagreeable
impression. Some time after, the EN-
peror, when converSing with q group
OF his intimate friends, referred to the
incident, and gave the reason of his
sudden emotion. In 1863" he said.
